His critics think President Trump went too far with his "fire and fury" warning to North Korea. On Thursday, however, Trump himself suggested he didn't go far enough. "Maybe it wasn't tough enough," he told reporters from his golf club in Bedminster, NJ, per Politico. "It's about time someone stuck up for the people of this country." Asked what would be tougher than "fire and fury," he responded, "You'll see, you'll see," reports USA Today. Trump, however, also said he was open to negotiations, notes the New York Times. "Sure, we'll always consider negotiations," he said. "They've been negotiating now for 25 years.

He then faulted presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama for not making enough progress. "It's about time," he said. "Somebody has to do it." Trump also said he had the full support of the military and "many other leaders." Echoing his remarks from earlier in the week, he added that Pyongyang leaders should "get their act together" or their country will "be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble." Trump's comments came ahead of a national security briefing.

It amazes me that people can get to be Trump's age, and still see the world through the lens of a DC comic book. Good guys, bad guys, pretty girls, superheroes, and arch villains. Its all make believe, and that's the world Trump lives in. Unfortunately, its not the real world, and when people like Kim Jong-un and Trump are in the driver's seat, all sorts of things can and do go wrong.

Most of our greatest Presidents in history have used this kind of approach. It's actually the pussy whipped approach like Obama's that allowed NK to be where they are today.

Many here miss a point; the comments Trump were telling China do something or we will. Porky UN fires ANY missiles and all bets are off; they land around or on Guam then North will be gone.. The one's stating ' no problem they will land in the water." I tell you this as an example; I am say North Korea and You are USA and I say and then fire a few rounds from a 44 magnum around your head - you will do what?
